“In early April 2024, online play and other functionality that uses online communication will end for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software,” Nintendo said on its Support website.

“This also includes online co-operative play, internet rankings, and data distribution.”

“if an event occurs that would make it difficult to continue online services for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U software, we may have to discontinue services earlier than planned.”

As for Pokémon Bank

Pokémon Bank will still retain its online functionality (presumably since it’s still used by players and uses online connectivity as its central mechanic).

Ah so I can finally hack into my 3ds without feeling a little guilty. Anyone know some good guides to do this?

Follow the above guide exactly -- then download:

https://hshop.erista.me/

and also use

https://myrient.erista.me/

This will cover 100% of your bases. You'll be able to play anything and have a great experience. New 2DS XL highly recommended.

i’m so glad the people who say to use random youtube guides didn’t come over to lemmy

this is the positive technocratic gatekeeping.

I can confirm everything you posted, works like a charm and the 3ds is still a really nice gaming platform with a deep game library

HShop is a revelation.

With a few useful keywords (you've got them), the literal first result of any search engine. 3DS hacking / custom firmware installation has been extensively documented and is quite straightforward.
